Permission granted: A role mining model We implement a recently published role mining model using both constraint programming and mixed integer linear programming, then compare their relative performance while solving several examples. www.solvermax.com/blog/permiss... #orms #pyomo #ortools

Optimal rational approximation using SciPy In this article we solve a non-linear curve fitting problem using the SciPy library. We illustrate SciPy's curve_fit and minimize functions and look at some good practices. #python #scipy #orms www.solvermax.com/blog/optimal... @johndcook.bsky.social

Blog: Can AI code an entire optimization model? We report our experience of using Copilot to write a non-trivial optimization model for us. We focus on what went well and what didn't go well, plus some general lessons from the process. www.solvermax.com/blog/can-ai-... #orms #copilot #llm #ai

Objectives matter: Sorting using a MIP model While solving a feasibility problem that is taking forever, we try using an alternative objective function to reduce the HiGHS solver's run time. The impact is dramatic. www.solvermax.com/blog/objecti... #Python #orms
